COMPUTER PROBLEMS... BACK IN A FEW DAYS, I HOPE

We had a huge storm here last Friday, and since then we haven't had any internet connection. We have Verizon DSL, and we have two modems... neither modem is getting any connection. Verizon says it's our modem that doesn't work, I'm suspicious that it might be something else. I will call them today and see about getting another modem, and it that doesn't work, they will probably have to come to our house and check things out.

So, I'll probably be gone from my own computer for at least a few days. I may be able to post from other computers, if I have time.

My dad is in a kind of holding pattern with his congestive heart failure. The doctor told him his system was starting to shut down, and then asked him if he preferred to go to the hospital or stay at home. I have to take that to mean the doctor believes there isn't much time left for Dad. Dad and Mom both said they would like for him to be at home, so we will see what happens. He will continue to take his medications, use his oxygen, and use his walker. The way I look at it, his situation is really like that of all of us: who knows how much time is left? It could happen today, tomorrow, next week, next month, maybe even next year...

I like the new CDs by Neil Young and Pearl Jam. They are helping me get through some less-than-fun times!

Finally, I installed my site counter just about a year ago, so it looks like my site has been getting about 54 or 55 hits per day on average. Two or three of those per day are from me, the rest are from all of you! Thanks to all of you for coming by during the last year!
